Instructions

1

Boil potato in skin (approx. 20 mins), let cool, peel and slice.

Tip: If boiled ahead, starch structure stabilizes, and it won't fall apart when slicing.
2

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Tip: Hot oven is a requirement.
3

Brush rolled dough lightly with oil, distribute potato slices and thinly sliced onion.

Tip: No need for sauce necessarily here, cheese provides the juiciness.
4

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary.

Tip: Rosemary essential oils pair well with potato.
5

Cover with raclette cheese slices (or shredded).

Tip: Raclette releases plenty of fat, so don't put extra fat underneath.
6

Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese blisters and browns.

Tip: Raclette is good when top is slightly browned.

Recipe FAQ

Can I substitute raclette cheese?
Hard, because it gives the soul, but an aged Gruyère or Appenzeller can work.
Can I put raw potato on it?
No way! Raw potato won't soften during pizza baking time. It must be pre-boiled.
